To remember where West Valley City police officer Cody Brotherson died the night of Nov. 6, 2016, the city painted a fire hydrant navy blue. Brotherson’s badge number, 8444, was placed in the concrete beside the hydrant.
Now police are trying to find whoever vandalized the hydrant, near 2200 W. 4100 South, by pouring red paint on it. A Facebook post captures the anger of local police.
“Please help West Valley Police identify the subhuman(s) who have defiled the fire hydrant near 2200 W 4100 S.,” the post from the Unified Police Department’s Taylorsville Precinct reads.
